Portland Improv hosts record-breaking social experiments in the Portland metro-area. In the past year we've frozen over 2,500 people in 3 separate freezes. The Portland Freeze 2008, at Pioneer Courthouse Square, holds the title as the largest freeze in the U.S., involving 1,528 participants. As a group we coordinate flash missions to an unexpecting audience, in public venues. Check out our mission videos and information regarding future missions below.

We have 1,000+ members and gearing up for our newest mission, “Let’s Dance!”

Let’s Dance mission information:

“Let’s Dance!” involved hundreds of people spontaneously breaking out in dance, at Clackamas Town Center. At 2pm music played throughout the mall. The dance started off with just a few dancers bursting onto the scene, and then grew virally until all were dancing.

Portland Improv missions:

We made our friend into a fake celebrity, convincing many to request autographs and photographs. This mission took place in Hillsboro.

Comment by David Bassi on October 20, 2009 at 5:43pm: Hmm, sounds good to me. What's the Zombie walk?

Comment by trashy st. clair on October 20, 2009 at 2:04am: The zombie walk is this weekend (24th) ....I was kind of hoping to do this as a dress rehearsal/ good excuse to see the movie.

Maybe next year if there's a zombie movie playing ?)

Comment by David Bassi on October 20, 2009 at 1:24am: Alright, well I'm in, I could easily get a few people involved. What would be a good date? Maybe this Friday or Saturday?

Comment by Myranda Markey on October 17, 2009 at 2:28pm: probably a bigger theater. I have a friend that would totally do it with me.
